What this does: Answer a few quiz-setting questions to estimate whether Answer Saver and retake autofill are likely to be useful for your Canvas quiz.
What affects retake autofill
Answer Saver works best when the quiz allows another attempt, the retake shows similar fields, and answers were captured before the retake. Randomization and changed question wording can reduce matching reliability.

FAQ

- Before the attempt you want saved, because the extension needs to capture supported answers while you work.
